James, depending on who is doing the bashing, anybody who has any faith in God whatsoever is a "fanatical religious" nut.
In Russia, before communism "disappeared" in its recent charade, every day in Russian schools would begin with the words from the teacher: "Remember, children, there is no God."
The children were encouraged to turn in their parents if their parents expressed ANY contrary beliefs to the State Atheism, and any parents who were thus guilty were sent to the Gulag Archipilego, to die, more often than not.
